    Today, technology makes it possible to touch holograms, feel materials on a screen and control objects from a distance with a simple, specific gesture in mid-air. Managing to give bionic limbs a sense of touch is one of the latest successes of medical technology. Slowly but surely, bionic prostheses are becoming more efficient than natural limbs. Where will this revolution lead us?

    Technology is actively reinventing the ear. Not only is science currently able to implant devices to overcome deafness, but it is also developing hearing aids that surpass the ear’s natural acoustic abilities. More surprisingly, these aids allow the elderly to improve working memory and selective attention. Hearing is gradually revealing its full potential.

    The Orchestra of the Senses

    Season 1 Episode 5 - Aired 8/17/2019

    Our senses are not designed to give us the most accurate representation of the outside world, instead the array of data they collect emphasizes certain things and allows others to take a back seat – it’s a magnificent orchestra and the conductor is your brain. Nothing can match the brain’s talent.
